With Juan Forero at the helm, the Paper of Record once again shows itself to be the paper of record lows. Arrogant and ignorant, it refuses to correct its errors.

Alek Boyd wrote a letter to the NYT to point out the uncomfortable Chavista fact that poverty has grown dramatically under the Chavez regime. Facts from Chavez’s own government statistics show that Chavez’s love of the poor is nothing more than an effort to create more of them. Not only was it in the facts themselves, it was also the topic of one of the most chilling Oppenheimer columns ever written, one which we noted here.

Pigheadedly, the New York Times tells Alek that his facts, repeat, facts, do not merit a correction. Read it here.

Not worth the paper it’s printed on.
